Add `outlines` in the list of projects using Lark #1407

Closed rlouf closed 2 months ago

rlouf commented 2 months ago

I am a maintainer of the Outlines library, and we use Lark to help Large Language Models generate text in the language of any formal grammars. The repository is fairly popular in the LLM world, and I was wondering if you would accept a PR that add the project to the README in the section on libraries that use Lark.

Thank you for the great work!

Sure, I would be happy to.

Btw, it looks like you're accessing and overriding a lot of Lark's internal implementation. I wonder why that was necessary, and if perhaps there is a less invasive way of doing that?

Anyway, as long as you do, I suggest pinning to a specific lark version. I can't guarantee that internal details won't change in the future.

You would have to ask @brandonwillard.

That's a good idea!
